Star Wars:
Revised System

Calendar

I'm adopting the Tapani Sector calendar naming for months, because it's cooler than "Month 1". The structure of the Galactic Standard Calendar is as follows:

  • 368 days=1 year
  • 60 seconds=1 minute
  • 60 minutes=1 hour
  • 24 hours=1 day
  • 5 days=1 week
  • 7 weeks=1 month
  • 35 days=1 month
  • 10 months + 3 festival weeks + 3 holiday days=1 year

Each day is named:

  • Day 1: Atunda
  • Day 2: Katunda
  • Day 3: Satunda
  • Day 4: Datunda
  • Day 5: Natunda

The months, holidays, and festival weeks are structured as follows:

  • Month 1: Elona
  • Month 2: Kelona
  • Holiday 1: Republic Day
  • Month 3: Selona
  • Festival Week 1: The Festival of Stars. It is marked by vacations.
  • Month 4: Telona
  • Month 5: Nelona
  • Holiday 2: Labor Day
  • Month 6: Helona
  • Festival Week 2: The Festival of Life. It is marked by parties, get-togethers, and gift-giving.
  • Month 7: Melona
  • Month 8: Yelona
  • Holiday 3: Supreme Chancellor's Day
  • Month 9: Relona
  • Month 10: Welona
  • Festival Week 3: New Year Fete Week

Galaxy Map

I am going to use a combination of maps for purposes of determining planet locations and travel times. There is no definitive map of the Star Wars galaxy, so I am going to use my best judgement from canon and fan-generated content.

Some general rules:

  • Using trade routes/hyperspace lanes cut travel times considerably (half)
  • Uncharted routes require astrogation rolls (even if an astromech is performing it) and travel time is doubled
  • Astrogation rolls can affect travel time
  • Charted routes don't need to be rolled, but can be if you want to make an attempt at shortening the route

Star Wars Insider Map

This map was in a Star Wars Insider magazine.

Nav-Computer.com Map

A fan-created map. I like this one because it seems to be more thought out.

WotC Base Travel Times

A very general table for base travel times.

    • Trades routes used: Daragon Trail, Gordian Reach - cut travel time in half
